Dong Nai
Welcome to Dong Nai, a hidden gem on S Lamar Blvd in Austin, TX, where the vibrant flavors of Vietnam come alive in a cozy, inviting setting. This well-reviewed Vietnamese restaurant offers an array of authentic dishes that will delight both the casual diner and the discerning foodie alike.
At Dong Nai, you will be greeted by a friendly, attentive staff who are eager to make your dining experience memorable. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for a quick lunch, a casual dinner with friends, or even a cozy meal with family. Reviews from satisfied diners highlight not only the quality of the food but also the welcoming ambiance that makes you feel right at home.
The culinary star of Dong Nai is undoubtedly their pho, specifically the PHO DONG NAI, which comes packed with tender sliced brisket, rare chopped filet mignon, and a beautifully torched soy-marinated egg. Diners rave about the broth, which is rich, flavorful, and authentic—an essential characteristic of any great pho. Other must-try pho options include the PHO OCEAN and the PHO TRIO with its delectable meatballs, all served at reasonable prices. Vegetarians will appreciate the PHO BUDDA, a fresh and fulfilling mix of soft tofu and seasonal veggies.
Beyond pho, Dong Nai shines with their creative offerings, such as the crunchy and satisfying Crispy Tofu with Garlic Sauce and the flavorfully spiced Yellow Curry Tofu. If you’re in the mood for something light yet substantial, try their Stir Fried Zucchini Noodles or the irresistible shrimp Bánh Mì, adored for its crispy exterior and generous filling of succulent shrimp.
The advantage of dining here doesn’t stop at the menu. Many reviews reflect the quick service, allowing you to enjoy your meal without any unnecessary waits. Victor Booth, a pleased customer, noted the restaurant's "extremely clean" environment and “very delicious” food, while Taeya Ngo appreciated the authentic flavor of the broth in her pho—a true testament to the artisanship at Dong Nai.
With a varied drink list that features local favorites such as Guinness Stout and Altstadt Kolsch, paired with glasses of wine available for just $6, your meal at Dong Nai can easily be elevated to a complete dining experience. Whether you're seeking a comforting bowl of noodles or craving a few appetizers to share, this cozy Vietnamese haven promises to leave you satisfied.
Ready to embark on a culinary journey to Vietnam without leaving Austin? Visit Dong Nai, where every bowl of pho tells a story and every dish is crafted with care. Your taste buds will thank you!
